Serious answer: you rinse the oil drum out with some kind of detergent first. Oil tankers have a real problem with fumes left in an empty tank, so do something similar, but on a grander scale.

IIRC fumes are at their most potent in rarefied concentrations, something like 5%. i.e. a seemingly empty drum.Comment

It was Pachers
Originally posted by pacharan View PostI've just bought a Titan 1300L oil tank.
It's to replace a metal tank who h is showing sins of weepage.
My question is this. To dispose of the metal tank I propose to cut it up with an angle grinder and take it to the scrappy.
My concern regards the flammabiluty of any residual oil contained within with respect to the sparks generated by the grinder.
If it were petrol I know I'd definitely have a problem here but is domestic heating oil so volatile?Comment
